Creating "healing" spells?


Where are you going with this?

@Lord Raijin: That hardly matters - I saved Ferelden without resorting to self-mutilation or sacrifice.

@Rebel Wolf: I was just curious. You were saying how mages could do so much to heal people - I was wondering what you had done with your mage to be capable of healing.

I'd expect anyone to make the healing mage argument to be a Spirit Healer with full Creation to support their "claim".  Mages aren't forced to study certain spells - I am curious if this:  "Mages can do so much to help heal others." is for "those other mages" .

Note:  I was full Creation w/Anti-Magic Spirit and Glyphs/Hexes (hardly relevant, but I figured I'd add it)

Rotfl,I saved the freaking world.
That is what my mage did.
And I healed my companions even dorkistair until he died of course.
You don't need to be a spirit healer to heal anyway.

This is how it should be.

The First Enchanter runs the Circle, Not the Chantry. The First Enchanter gives orders to the templars.


...that's EXACTLY how Tevinter came back to its strength, by giving the Mages control of the Templars (though they went about by first taking the Chantry).

And Irving does not command the Templars by himself. At best, he's so respected there that the Templars will consider his word synonymous with Gregoir's, but if Gregoir says anything they'll still follow him.


Well technically neither did those Templars have the means to retaliate either. Outside of some rare exceptions, like Lambert, by and large, Templars in Tevinter cannot counter magic.


IIRC, that was the result of the Magisters taking back their power and not something that was always true. The Templars weren't always powerless against magic, but when the Magisters took back power and controlled the Chantry -- and thus the lyrium -- they hindered the Tevinter Templars.

@Rebel Wolf: Any Warden saves the world - even those pitiful non-mages. That's hardly significant - and not the argument you had made for the usefulness of mages earlier.

And get off the floor man - you're acting Fade crazed.

Being a mage isn't significant in saving the world.  Warriors and Rogues can do it too.  Being a Warden is significant.

And how much of the world would your Primal Mage have torn apart? Useful to fight Darkspawn - but hardly relevant as a mage in peace time.

And Blood Magic. Don't forget Blood Magic.

Gray wardens fight darkspawn always not just during blight.
There is no peace time for wardens.
plus I stated a lot of times that he had healing spells.

@SgtSteel91: Nah, evidently the Tevinter Magisters think blood magic is for those who can't do real magic.

Gameplay wise, I never run a Spirit Healer or Creation healing mage because it is harder for me to keep track of party members and I always end up having them all end up dead somehow. And plus, it is much more fun to shoot lightning in a game for me. I always like my mage characters being in the thick of things. But if I had actually placed myself in Thedas, I would be a Spirit Healer fully versed in the healing arts. In my opinion, that would be infinitely more satsifactory to me. If I could heal, I really would not care about fire spells or shooting lightning. Being able to heal people, mundane or otherwise, would be worth the tradeoff. That is why the healing arts, and people like Wynne and Anders, always enthrall me.

I tend to play the game in a realistic sort of way. While in battle I simply cannot dig through my backpack to find a lyirum potion to give me a boost of mana. I need to do things quickly, and so I had to sacrifice my own life force through self-mutilation to keep casting my spells until my enemy is dead.

I do not use the life force of my companions. You be a blood mage, and use the art in a responsible way.

Titus looked like he was doing pretty well with his blood magic.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A SPIRIT HEALER TO HEAL PEOPLE.
It's like talking to a wall.

@eluvianix: "Wynne and Anders" - like scraping your nails on a chalk board to have them in the same sentence.

I do not think you (or I) are common in that aspect... I was trying to illuminate that point.

@Lord Raijin: I used Spellbloom.

Are you done yelling?
But being a spirit healer sure as heck makes your healing arts a hell of a lot stronger.

Yeah I agree,Anders is a glorious hero and Wynne is a self righteous chantry apologist.
But she was talking about healing all my mages did  that.

I was just referring to two examples of people who were VERY strong healers. I wasn't even referring to the character's personalities.

Wynne was the only one who had her head on her shoulders. She did what she believed to be right.

@elvuianix: It's the difference between a triage center and a fully staffed hospital actually.

I know you like the bloody magics. I can't feel anything but disdain for it.

Yeah,you seem really judgemental.
A traige center or even a healer in a field can save lives.

I am lost on your first analogy, sorry.

And yes, I do like some blood magic, merely as a means of giving and extra boost to my normal spells. But never for mind control or demon summoning, or their upper tier powers. Nothing could ever justify those in my mind.

Anders and hero should never be in the same sentence, he is a deluded anarchist who purposely blows up a building full of innocent people to try and spark a war and failed in that regard
